Abstract
Technologies are described herein for providing a pan and zoom control in conjunction with a timeline for navigating project schedule data in a project management application. The project management application displays a pan and zoom control in conjunction with a project schedule timeline, with the pan and zoom control at a position and of a size relative to the timeline that reflects the temporal scope of project schedule data currently displayed. The pan and zoom control is configured to allow a user to move and resize the control along the timeline. Upon detecting movement or resizing of the pan and zoom control, the project management application will change the scope of the project schedule data displayed to match the time period represented by the new position and/or new size of the pan and zoom control in relation to the timeline.

11. A computer storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, will cause the computer to:
-
determine a scope of any project schedule data displayed by a project management application; and display a pan and zoom control in proximity to a timeline at a position and a size relative to the timeline corresponding to the scope of the project schedule data, the pan and zoom control configured to be moved along the timeline and resized by a user of the project management application. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, will cause the computer to:
-
detect a display of a timeline by a project management application; upon detecting the display of the timeline, determine a scope of any displayed project schedule data; display a pan and zoom control in proximity to the timeline at a position and a size relative to the timeline corresponding to the scope, the pan and zoom control configured to be moved along the timeline and resized by a user of the project management application utilizing an input device; detect a movement of the pan and zoom control along the timeline to a new position; upon detecting the movement of the pan and zoom control, determine a time period represented by the new position and the size of the pan and zoom control in relation to the timeline; change the scope of the displayed project schedule data to substantially match the time period; detect a resizing of the pan and zoom control relative to the timeline to a new size; upon detecting the resizing of the pan and zoom control, determine if the new size of the pan and zoom control substantially encompasses all of the timeline; upon determining that the new size of the pan and zoom control substantially encompasses all of the timeline, remove the pan and zoom control; upon determining that the new size of the pan and zoom control does not substantially encompass all of the timeline, determine a time period represented by the new size and the position of the pan and zoom control in relation to the timeline; and change the scope of the displayed project schedule data to substantially match the time period. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
